United States Notes hutilated to Save Ex-
ehange-The Bifers Bitten.
WASHINGTON, April 15-There was re-
ceived at the United States Treasury yes
terday for redemption q package of per-
fectly new United States notes of small de-
nomination to the amount Of $1,000. which
were mutilated by having hole punched
through them, through which cord had
been passed and then sealed. The package
was sent by express by q national bank in
Texas'0nd the mutilation was evidently in
tended rs an additional safeguard in trans
pOrtation. This is said to be the practice
Of many southern express companies in the.
transportation of money to the treasury for
redemption, but the present is the first
instance where new, uninjured notes have
been treated in this way. 1t is not known
whether these particular notes were mutt
lated by the bank or by the express CON-
pany, but it Is thought at the department
that it was done by the bank to secure ex-
change on New York at the expense Of the
Government Acting Treasurer Whclpley
refused to receive the notes and directed
their return to the bank at its expense with
o statement that such mutilation was con-
sidered . violation Of law and would not be.
permitted by the department.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Points OF the Proposed Rev1sloA OF Oh Q
Constitution.
BosToN, April 1.-THE committee on law
appointed ct the last General Assembly Of
the Knights Of Labor at Richmond, to re
wise the constitution, has finished its work.
The following are the most important reg
ulations adopted: The formation Of M
tional trades districts will be permitted,
posed Of one trade, but attached to dis
trict assembly Of mixed nature must first
obtain the permission Of the district assem-
bly, and then must forward its application
to the general secretary, who will lay the
matter before all local assemblies Of the
craft in the country. No trades union can
make person join their union before such
person can join the Knights Of Labor organ
ization Of their craft. This law Is aimed at
the hatters' and glassmakers' unions. Be
sides the prohibition of rum sellers from
membership, NO local assembly will be Al
lowed to have any social gathering or pic
mic where liquor is sold, and no member
will be allowed to dispense liquor in the
name Of an assembly. II such should occur
the charter of an assembly will be revoked
and the members expelled. The rule re-
quiring that at least ten minutes be spent
in the discussion Of labor questions has
been abolished, and in its place rule has
been made that every assembly shall hold
a meeting once q month at which only
labor questions shall be discussed. This is
return to the educational policy adopted
at the inception of the order. Every local
assembly must gain permission Of the
district assembly before it can go On
strikes. The penalty of violation Of this
rule is revocation of charter. ANY member
making groundless charges or malicious
attack on general officer or the members
of the general executive board shall be ex-
PEELED. To the proposition blanks the fol-
lowing questions have been added: "Are
you q member of q labor organize
ton. II SO, WHAT" Hereafter trans
fer cards will be sent to the
secretary Of the local assembly which .
member desires to join, instead OF being
given to the member himself. This IL to
prevent members desiring to 60 into the
liquor business from having their transfer
cards framed and hung up behind their
bars. The platform Of principles has been
changed to read: mo more public lands
for railroads and other speculations." H.
surance policies Of $500 will be issued as
well as Of $1,000. Medical examination and
q doctors certificate will now be required.
No person will have q right to make q mo-
ton in any local assembly that the assem-
bly, withdraw as body from the Knights,
and no chairman will be allowed to enter
tain shy such motion. Any individual de-
string to withdraw can do 30. The constitu-
ton as revised will be submitted to the To-
cal assemblies for adoption. Forty days
notice must be given Of any other further
The committee on revision con-
sisted Of John Devlin, Of Detroit; John
Howes, Of Worcester; d. J. Haggerty, Of
Brooklyn, and Henry Abrahams, Of Boston.

IxOat.

Wall Paper Warehouse BuFnod-TW0 Lives
Lost.
CHICAGO, April IA. J. McGrath's wall
paper house in the fve-story building on
Wabash avenue, was destroyed by fire
early this morning. The stock is IN en-
tire loss and the building is irreparably in
jured, the floors having fallen through.
The fire was attended BY two fatal
tiles. Pipemsn Michael Burns was
standing in the fourth story win
dow when . sheet Of fame came
out and enveloped him and he fell into the
blazing mass inside. Lieutenant John
Heberlie was climbing q ladder to the
second story, when 1t slipped and he fell to
the sidewalk, crushing his skull. Captain
Fred Reese had leg broken by falling
stone. The fire was discovered ct $3.50
O'Clock by night Waterman. When the
fremen arrived the fire WAS in the CEN
ter Of the building, but even before the
hose could be brought to bear the flames
had jumped from story to story, above
and below, and seized speedily upon the
very inflammsble stuff with which the
floors were loaded. The second and third
alarms were turned in and twenty engines
were soon working upon the building. The
firemen say they never saw 30 rapid and
complete destruction Of large establish
ment. The fire was ont at about five o'clock
and very little, if any, damage was done
adjoining buildings, which were occupied
by wholesale jewelry and millinery houses.
The loss Is supposed to be $l5O,OOO to sl75-
OOO stock and 900 ON the building. The
insurance is said to be small. The owner
Of the stock Of wall paper declared this
morning that the loss would reach half .
million dollars. It was probably the largest
stock carried by any one firm in America.
